I can't believe Elvis sold that many albums. The Beatles I completely understand. Their music is timeless and influential. I have a hard time coming up with more than 4 or 5 Elvis songs. I think time has been kinder to the Beatles music over Elvis.

Sidenote to what you said (the timeless / influential part), but Elvis is rather underrated as a singer (and frankly his influence as a performer) these days because his style has been so parodied that I think people don't realize that he was actually really good. He's no Jackie Wilson, but the guy had some serious pipes.

And this reminds me of this post. Some of the videos are down now, but since they come from the studio versions it oughtn't be hard to find them.

Heh. I have actually heard that, though I do like it.

But my favorite Kelly cover of a Mariah song is probably Jesus, Oh What a Wonderful Child. Well not a Mariah song but she's basically doing an inflection-for-inflection cover of Mariah's version. She's done that a few other times.

Unfortunately that version of Jesus, Oh What A Wonderful Child is somewhat marred by Fantasia's cat-in-heat-screeching but Kelly usually drowns her out.

Yeah it's usually better when she's not in cover song mode but it's still kinda tragic...wish she would up the production budget or something, not here for the Jabu Jabu's Belly scenery

almost as bad as Miscarried Baby (aka Skeri BigBird Hilson) and her Walmart tour.

except even Skeri can be on key when she sings and on pitch. smh Mary

a little, nothing to worry about though cause i dont check for her

Oh gosh...*thinks*

I haven't checked for MJB's crispy-fried vocals since...

Yeah, that's about right.

Notable tracks:

"All That I Can Say"

"Deep Inside"

Then I had a minor resurgence with this guilty pleasure:

"Family Affair"

Everything after that? No mam, can't.

"You are the only person I know who can sing about struggling...WHILE struggling. I mean its gotta be a talent. Just one that nobody wants.

In more "Look Who's Doin Good" news...

Christina Aguilera was spotted out after shooting an episode of The Voice, and it looks like she's getting her body right:

This can only man one thing: A new album era is fast approaching.

it's giving me arethaesque soul album teas

Would be awesome if she delivers a surprisingly great album. *crosses fingers*

The Goat trying the most

The source said: "Her management banned her from reuniting with Chris, but she said she'll do whatever the hell she wants to. Rihanna is rebelling. She says they have been working her too hard and she wants some time to herself. They fear she'll secretly record an album with Brown, just to defy them."

Rihanna recently told Elle Magazine: "When you know you like a guy, or when you've been in love, that's the same feeling you have swimming with sharks. That's the same feeling you have when doing anything daring, risky, spontaneous, or unpredictable. I think having those butterflies is the closest thing to being in love? And when you play it safe, you don't feel anything at all."

A certified mess, dont know why people use

Christina and Britney need to leave the blonde hair and get darker colors

I have to admit I'm enjoying Jell-O's new single. It's a reductive version of On The Floor and an obvious and desperate attempt at a hit, but it works.


Pitbull is so grose though.

So STEPS have covered JOANNE GERMANOTTA on their tour.

Quite frankly I'm DISGUSTED. I'll be skipping that part.

I'm afraid to break it to you but The Holy Goat has the summer on lock with "Where Have You Been". And she's likely to cockblock your faves after that with a new album.

You can keep trying though, too bad all your shade efforts always come up reductive

I like the song too. It's no Papi tho

I was checking for it...two months ago.

The Navy will suffer a little setback but nevertheless there's always album #7 coming soon to mask the flop.

But sis, you know Where Have You Been is unresistable and highly commercial. It will slay.

Are they all boat people? REFUGEES looking for a BETTER FAVE?

A rumor mixed with a vague quote that may or may not be alluding to Chris Brown is all you have? I thought the cutters would have done a better job spinning this story since they have to spin the flop era that is BTW into something successful.

Remain bothered.

The Navy isn't worried about WHYB smashing. It's not competing with WFL, and it has a video unlike #CAKE and TalkThatTalk. I wonder what theh other stans are gonna do [I]when[/I] it smashes. I guess they'll just remain pressed as the reign doesn't let up.

I will keep it cute with you, being an old person and all, don't want you to suffer a heart attack from all that pressedness

Yeaaah, have to disagree with you on that. It's a very generic song, and that noise that has to pass as a chorus makes my head hurt. Talk about anti-climactic.


She should just move on and bring new music instead. TTT really didn't do anything for me, apart from the song TTT itself. Definitely her worst album since I've really started following her (the GGGB era).



Edit: Oh I forgot We Found Love. That's makes 2 good songs on TTT.

Let me just stir some shit up right quick

Setting aside Annie Lennox as a force all her own – an icon so admired by the young Texan, she deliberately channels her in the syncopated sass of “Walk Away” – Clarkson continues to prove that she’s the most purely powerful female rock voice since the wailing heyday of Pat Benatar and Heart’s Ann Wilson. She makes upstarts like Paramore’s Hayley Williams and Evanescence’s Amy Lee sound puny by comparison.
Moreover, she’s fearless in ways modern pop stars who aren’t Lady Gaga rarely dare. Most, including Gaga, tend to get caught up in production artifice – it’s more important they nail their moves than nuance their performance. (Think Katy Perry or Taylor Swift.) Clarkson’s focus is resolutely on the music. Both her set design and outfits (tight black pants accompanied by an array of sleeveless shirts, most of them spangled and shimmering) ultimately seem like an afterthought.

Clarkson routinely confounded expectations and effortlessly stole songs from others.
She easily bested the considerable pipes of Florence Welch on a rendition of the English siren’s “Heavy in Your Arms” that proved Clarkson could be a goth-metal queen if she wanted to be. She also owned Underwood’s “I Know You Won’t,” heightening its regret by dialing down the histrionics in a superb piano-and-voice version, inserting riveting runs and aching asides that her fellow American Idol champ would never think to indulge.

Said this before and I’m sure there will be reason to say it many times more as the years and albums roll on: Kelly Clarkson is a simply stunning singer, arguably the strongest to be found in any genre.
Céline Dion can hit the same notes but her passion is vapid. Mary J. Blige and Adele have all the passion but nowhere near the same range. Beyoncé and Christina Aguilera and Carrie Underwood have the range but not the versatility. But Clarkson, still not even 30 (she crosses that mark April 24), can do it all: layer fierce belting onto a banging dance jam, take a slice of country glop and make it worthy of Etta James, bring believable soul to disposable fluff and vulnerability to hard-bitten rants, and outdo her peers every time.
